Essentially, 4 to 5 pieces of information are carried forward and displayed on a new ticket;

the original ticket number,
the place of original issue,
the original date of issue,
the original issuing IATA number,
and the most recent ticket to have been exchanged (may or may not be the original.

In Amadeus (as used by BA, CX, QF, and others), that data will look something like this:

FO125-1234567890LHR20MAR18/00112233/125-4556677882

Other systems have the same info but different layouts.

No, this by itself doesn't show whether it was a travel agent, but it wouldn't be too difficult to look up the IATA number, or go back to the original ticket to see what system it was issued in, etc. There are even more clues (for agents) in the actual PNR too.
